If you can run the screw down and tighten it then a bad connection may be temporarily bypassed.
If your drill emerged clean then stage 2 would be to try 3/4 length screws. But this would be the last gap. I am trying to soothe an unknown style battery.
If it does work, it works. Many UL style batteries use post top caps.
And this will provide entertainment.
